Goldare (Gol - Dare) The Mastermind

Physical Description:
Goldare is tall and dark. He wears a black leather trench coat, that is only held closed by two buttons. An eye patch covers his left eye, and an empty sleave marks his left arm that is missing. Goldare has black, short, yet spiked hair style, with a 5 o’clock shadow on his face. He also wears the iconic pin-striped slacks and black gloss dress shoes of a mobster. And what is a Crime Boss if he doesn’t have a gun. Strapped under his left sleave is a Chrome and Gold plated Dessert Eagle pistole.

Lore:
Being a criminal master mind, one learns to stay out of sight, and hidden while you pull the strings of others. For the longest time, Noxus had a crime spree that could not be kept in check. When the criminals were captured and tortured for information fot the where-abouts of their leader, they only replied with, “The Mastermind!” The range of his followers were from the gutter trash cowards, to the bravest of bar brawlers. The Noxus authorities had been pushed to their brink, and they called for Swain to step in and bring this annoyance down. After a month of careful planning, Swain managed to flush Goldare out into the light. But this man was beyond anything Swain had stood against on the battle fields.

Goldare had a decor and charisma about him, that even gave the “Immovable Swain” pause. As Goldare gave the order to pull back, Swain watched while Goldare covered each of his men with a single pistol. Unable to track him back down, Swain sought the assistance of the Leagues summoners. With Goldare's description, the Summoners were able to locate and summon Goldare before Swain. As Goldare went for his pistol, he took a quick glance of the room around him. Surrounded, outnumber, and outmatched, he surrendered. Swain then did the unthinkable. Swain offered him his freedom if he swore to fight for Noxus in the League. The slight smirk that crossed Goldare's face all the answer Swain needed.

Cost: (30/40/50/60/70) Mana
Cool-down: (60/55/50/45/40) seconds

Explanation: When I looked over the champions, there was not a single champion that used mind-control. So why not put it to use and give those poor minions a Larger roll in the game. The reason for his cooldown being so long, is it would become quickly over-powering if if he took over every minion wave.

Ultimate (R) - Temporary Insanity - (Icon Idea: The cartoon confusion face with a "?" stamped on the head)

The skill robs the enemy player of control of their champion, and forces their champion to assult allied champions with any one skill that is available at random, to include the Ultimate if not already on Cooldown.

Range: Mid-ranged
Cost: (120/180/240) Mana
Cool-down: (120/180/240) seconds.

Explanation: I am a fan of Morde's ultimate skill, but I just hate the fact that you have to kill them to get a copy of them. This way, you can turn the tide of a battle in a heartbeat if the right enemy is hit at the right time. The reason the cooldown increases with leave insted of reducing, is because if Goldare were allowed to do this every 60 seconds, it would quicly get out of hand with he focused Cooldown reduction. If you were to use this on an enemy Nunu, and he used his Ultimate and killed the entire enemy team with. just to have Goldare repeat the porsecess in the next team fight. The reason for the extending cooldown is to prevent such event from taking place.

Background:
Goldare’s past is one of obscurity and chaos. He was born to a wealthy family, was an only child, and was brought up in a happy home. Upon turning thirteen however, Goldare started to become extremely bored with the higher class life. As a teenager, Goldare slowly started with theft, that slowly turned into grand theft, and would eventually land him in the heart of a Noxian Gang. This back water no-name gang took him in after watching him make off with Guardsman coin purse, and get away with it. With a gang now to support him, Goldare cut all ties to his family and adopted the gang. This life was far more lively and enjoyable to him. As Goldare got older, more and more of the gang started to see him as a leader, so he started planning more and more complex heists. During one such heist, there was an unexpected turn of events that ended up with half the members of the gang being captured. What Goldare did next shocked the gang and the guards holding his men. Goldare claimed full responsibility and leadership of the gang while demanding the trade of his men for himself. Once his men were released, Goldare attempted to double cross the guards and payed dearly for it. The cost of his left arm and left eye were all the gang needed to rally behind him. They now knew that Goldare was willing to do anything to save his brothers in arms. Word quickly spread of the event, the gang’s size grew, and Goldare slipped into shadows.

Clearly this champion is not quite ready for the field, but that is why we post them here. To fine tune and perfect our ideas in hopes of getting them to the fields for all to see and enjoy.

I have come to accept the fact a lot of people do not care to leave comments, so I will judge progression by the number of views I get. Constructive Criticism is most welcome, but please be respectable about it.

This guy looks like a VERY interesting support. The only question is this; what are the ranges for his skills, mainly his passive, W, and his ult. Also, he looks like can 2v1 or even 3v1 with not a lot of trouble. And sometimes people with responses trickle in slowly, so relax a little.
